Airports - resume flights

From the New York Times...about 2 hours ago...

BANGKOK — Relief spread through Thailand on Wednesday as the main international airport creaked back to life after a weeklong siege by antigovernment protesters.

Cleaning crews scrubbed Suvarnabhumi International Airport, the sprawling $4 billion tourist gateway and regional hub, as protesters filed out of the main terminal, taking souvenir photographs and stopping to ask their leaders for autographs.

Flights began to arrive at Suvarnabhumi on Wednesday for the first time in days, but airport authorities said the resumption of full operations would take longer. Don Muang, the domestic airport which had also been blocked, was to reopen Thursday.
